    Man refering too rule Number 1. I must blow this guys spot up and wish I had a pic of his truck. I pull onto the fuel Island to gets some fuel. There was a driver in front of me, who had a the curtousy to pull his truck up but then parked it there at the fuel Island for 45min. Really . I didnt wait that long for him. I backed up did a drive around the lot. FOund a parking spot ran in took a dump bought some lunch , checked out some cb radios and such and came back out and his ### was still on the fuel island and no where to be found... WTF As much as I hate CSA 2010 it might free up the raod from A holes such as this person.:biggrin_25510:

    I don't see the correlation between csa and parking in front of the fuel island. Technically, if he's parked there, the road is free of him ;]

    ok, here is one. If you ever find yourself with the need to take a 10-200 (smokey and the bandit term..hahaha) Please, for the love of GOD, dont make it sound like you're climbing a frickin' mountain with all the grunts and heavy panting and what not. If you're too fat to walk from the back row to the pooper without getting winded, maybe you should stop at the fuel island to catch your breath. Nobody wants to hear that....

    I know from time to time we all are under the gun, and feel like we don't have time to stop for anything. I was in a Service Plaza on the Ohio Turnpike last week, and after a guy filled up with fuel, he seemed to be looking at his hoses like there was a problem, when he turned around he was zipping up his fly. Ok, he was 100 ft from the restroom, and would have only taken at the most 3 minutes to go in and take a leak! Don't be a crude idiot, would you like for me to walk into your driveway, and take a p**s where your kids walk? DON'T BE A LAZY ###!!!!!!!!

    Dont be so quick to condemn the trucker. Maybe an enterprising truck stop should consider installing urinals on the fuel pump islands? Looks like there is a demand to me.
